1999 Lexus LX 470 Go everywhere in luxury and take all your friends. By Mitch McCullough, Editor-in-Chief, New Car Test Drive .com

The Lexus LX 470 is the best luxury sport-utility vehicle on the market today. Completely re-engineered and redesigned as a late-1998 model, it does everything a luxury SUV should. And it does those things extremely well. The LX 470 offers crisp handling, a luxurious ride, a silky smooth V8 and an elegant interior. It is built to the highest standards of quality. Each body panel fits perfectly. Every switch, every moving part has the feel of fine craftsmanship. Interior materials are first class and occupants are swathed in luxury. When it comes to luxurious off-road vehicles, it just doesn't get any better than this.
